“Heat press pressure marks and stiff hand-feel during DTF transfer application”

The thread concerns bubbles/air pockets in DTF transfers, which respondents attribute to moisture turning to steam and to applying adhesive powder before the ink has dried to a satin finish. Nothing in the source mentions heat press pressure marks or a stiff hand-feel on the finished garment. The claim's specific symptoms are absent from the discussion entirely.

The span it rests on

Why does it look like this when I press a DTF PRINT ? Are these air pockets or moisture? How can this be avoided?
